Outstanding!! Out of this world!
We had visited South Africa a few years back and while it was nice, nothing can compare with this trip. Our tour guide, Saruni, was awesome. He knew where to look, the names of the animals, the sounds that they make. He was extremely professional, funny and we had a great time together. Accommodations were very good. Everyone was pleasant, He made the trip a perfect one. accommodating and extremely nice. We will go back. I give Gamewatchers a 10. We particularly love Porini Rhino Camp with David being a tremendous host. The food was a surprise and it was delicious. The Trive Hotel and the ark were superb. Actually we loved every resort where we stayed. Booking and planning this trip was made easy with the help of both Wayne and Brad. We visited a tribe and that was an amazing experience too

Exquisite!
Gamewatchers are THE best safari experience. Hot showers, plush beds and chef cooked meals. All inclusive with Maasai guides to take you to see the wildlife. All we dreamed and hoped for.

Gamewatchers staff went above and beyond to make our trip exceptional.
From my first conversation with Rick regarding the planning of our trip, to the final pickup at the airport in Nairobi, our experience with Gamewatchers surpassed our expectations. The accommodations at each Elewana property were uniquely beautiful with outstanding service. When my husband had a medical emergency at one of the camps, Jackie was tremendously helpful in helping to organize medical transportation and acquiring medications at the end of our trip. Overall, our experience with Gamewatchers was perfect.

Gamewatchers in Botswana
We didn't want to go on a standard group "tour" of southern Africa so we hooked up with Gamewatchers, who created a bespoke safari for my wife and I, my daughter, and her boyfriend. Our agent, Wayne Hammond, who is himself a seasoned African safari photographer, patiently assessed our needs and booked us into four venues__Ilala lodge in Vic Falls to start, then off to the bush and flood plains at Chobe Elephant Camp, Rra Dinare, and Splash Camp, the latter two in the Okavanga Delta. Everything was set up perfectly and each camp had its unique charms and terrain. The small aircraft transfers were right on schedule and we were expected, welcomed, and well cared-for in each camp. A lot of trust is required in booking these trips, and Gamewatchers delivered 100 percent. We felt the warm embrace of May in Botswana, an experience we will never forget.
I don't think you need to spend a ton of cash for five-star luxury. We went for mostly the mid-level camps which were comfortable, charming, and intimate, and which placed us very close to the environment we were seeking. The open-air vehicles were awesome and our guides and trackers, all local villagers, were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and showed a genuine love for the world we were exploring. We were blown away by all the game we saw, the amazing stars, the vast terrain of the delta and Chobe national park, and the wonderful people who hosted us. In short, we wouldn't have changed a thing.

Superb customer service, reliable, and knowledgable.
Game Watchers was our in-country travel coordinator and our entire trip went flawlessly! From pick up to the airport, to recommendations on where to shop, to getting us to our in-country flights on time and much more. Anything we could have needed in-country they were there for. And everyone we needed to contact was on whatsapp and responded to questions quickly. Our Nairobi driver, Paul, was so kind and knowledgable. Was able to get us to the elephant orphanage and giraffe sanctuary at a time were crowds were minimal. Took us to multiple shopping centers that were all unique and different and most importantly--got us everywhere we needed to be safely. All of our guides on Safari were coordinated by GameWatchers and they were so knowledgable! We had the best African Safari experience in Kenya and would recommend GameWatchers to anyone who wants a hassle free vacation of a lifetime.
